Saint Louis Art Museum, bequest of Nellie V. Plant [2]
Notes:
[1] This pocket watch and case descended through the Poignand and Plant families, along with a group of furniture made by David Poignand (also in the Museum's collection, 25:1936-32:1936). This watch likely shares the same provenance as this group of furniture, though it may not have been owned by David Poignand who died in 1830. However, the watch was definitely owned by Poignand's son, David Rozel Poignand. The line of descent for the furniture and this pocket watch is based on an undated note, presumably provided by Mary Plant Faust cousin of Frederick S. Plant, and a family-tree based on research conducted by Museum Assistant Curator Lynn Springer [SLAM document files].
